Breakfast Pumpkin Spice Mug Cake

Get ready for this.. cake for breakfast! And not just any cake, a healthy breakfast mug cake made with pumpkin, spice, and everything nice. I love the idea of mug cakes – microwaving a coffee mug full of ingredients until they steam and rise into a fluffy, moist dessert. So I got to thinking.. how do I make this 2 minute microwave deliciousness into an everyday delight? It wasn’t easy but ten or so recipe tests later, I was able to eliminate the oil and excessive sugar from a traditional mug cake and add fiber-full ingredients like oats, pumpkin, and whole wheat flour. I was even able to incorporate an egg into the recipe for extra breakfast protein! I am obsessed with this healthy breakfast pumpkin spice mug cake and I know you will be too. Warm up the microwave, we are about to have ourselves a mug cake party! I’ll bring the mugs if you bring the spoons.

Instructions: With a serving spoon, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, milk, egg, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice all together in a large mug until batter is smooth. Ensure no clumps of the dry ingredients are stuck to the bottom of the mug by scraping the bottom while mixing. Sprinkle pecans, oats, and pumpkin pie spice onto the top of the breakfast mug cake batter and microwave for 2 minutes and 15 seconds, or until the mug cake is throughly cooked throughout (time may vary depending on microwave type and voltage). When the mug cake is ready, it will be steaming hot! Let cool for a few minutes, then drizzle with optional maple syrup. Enjoy soon after cooking!

Who would have thought a health breakfast mug cake could be so easy! Just mix it up and throw it in the microwave while you get ready for the day. You’ll be surprised just how easy a healthy breakfast pumpkin mug cake can be. Who doesn’t love having cake for breakfast?

Have you made a mug cake before? I have seen some chocolate ones that are oozy, gooey, and choco-dreamy!

The mug cake batter should fill no more than half of your mug before cooking to allow for proper cake expansion while in the microwave. This recipe will make more batter than a typical 8oz mug can hold, so opt for a larger mug when making this recipe.
